    Is Larry Merchant a "PACQUAIO" hugger?

    I think larry merchant is extremely biased towards pacquiao ever since the first day he seen him against ledwaba.
    Watch most of his interviews he will bring up pacquiao, put him on the top of his pound 4 pound list, mention him as the most exciting, i just watched his maxboxing interview with steve kim he did a few months back and he hugs pacquiao big time...watch when pacman fights the other two lampley and steward seem to be bumping the other fighter but merchant keeps bumping pacquiao up especially during the morales vs pac 3 he really wanted pacman to destroy morales when he said "what is the ref doing! why is he holding manny back?"

    Anyone else notice this extreme Bias?

    IT is almost comparable to George Foremans bias favoritism of oscar de la hoya.





    Tom arnold even tells larry come larry you love manny pacquiao thats your guy! and merchant goes i like pacquiao and barrera..


    for me its the year of manny pacquiao

      Yeah he is, but that's not a bad thing. Manny is good for the sport. If you don't like him, you don't like boxing :P

        He's a big fan but he isn't totally biased to the extent as Lampley is towards Oscar, Jermaine, and Marco Antonio.

          well see lampley just roots for whoever hbo wants him to...big george was the biggest Oscar fan and prince naseem fan...and larry merchant clearly is a huge pacman fan.

                yeah but even then its easy to see why. I don't think anyone(maybe diehard Marquez fans still bitter about the beating Pac put on him) but besides that I don't think anyone dislikes manny, I mean how could u

                  Yeah but I think Lampley really likes Barrera regardless.

                  I mean the guy was practically holding back tears when talking about Barrera beating Hamed.
